He's an unhinged conspiracy theorist who did everything he could to undermine the Democratic nominee in 2016 and personally slander HRC. Why anyone would drag trash like him into this forum to support a point of view is troubling beyond words.

Furthermore, the Raw Story article you cite argues against both Salon's facile endorsement of Picketty's theory and the exegesis itself:

"Piketty’s analysis squares with what commentators from outlets like Salon, who employed the strident H.A. Goodman during the 2016 primary, have been preaching for awhile."

"Neither Piketty or the Salon writers considered the possibility that the class-based realignment they envision is happening, but that the Republicans have a lock on the lower classes. And that the future of the Democratic party is in the hands of people like Texas ex-Republican Nancy Sharp.

“Have you ever heard of a stupider and trashier man than the president of the United States?” she asked the New York Times in December.

“If you look at the patterns of where gains are being made and who is creating the foundation for those gains, it’s the same: An energized Democratic base is linking arms with disaffected suburban voters,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel told the Times. “The president’s conduct has basically given voters this permission slip to go against the Republicans.”
